Abstract
Based on a large cohort of adult patients with chronic inflammatory middle ear disease scheduled for middle ear surgery, the majority (82%) seems to have no dilatory (chronic obstructive) ETD that can be detected with current routine clinical methods and tubomanometry. Common pathophysiological explanations should be questioned critically, especially in the context of communication with patients.
